Philadelphia may be known as the city of brotherly love, but it’s a different kind of love that a scheming mom has posted an ad for in the ‘casual encounters’ section of the local Craigslist personals.

The advert was placed on July 16 with the provocative title of ‘Sugar baby for my son’ and the mom goes on to explain that she is looking for a young woman, under 19 years old, willing to turn her boy into a man. There is no proof that the plea is real, however.

The upfront mom - who doesn't give her name or say what her son is called - explains that her 18-year-old son is a senior in High School and will be going away to Harvard in the fall.

Although he is ‘extremely smart,’ his mom is concerned that he has ‘never had a girlfriend’ and is probably a virgin.

Her offer which is open to any Philly-based woman aged 19 or younger is simple – ‘I want to find a cute young girl to date him and turn him from high school nerd to cool college kid,’ she explains.
